Pretentious Yet Pointless
This striking piece is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the emphatically factual experience of form and space where the scale and openness to the piece is in some sense active rather than simply one of passive comprehension. Such forms, delicately modulated, create disarmingly strong sensations. The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but completely altered. Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism representing strength curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. The viewer is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the prototype into the world of epistemology of area and place. This carving is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the world of light and shade where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the work is a division of space that parallels our innermost confusion.
Sol Aris has not described the individuality of this sketch. The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the piece into the world of epistemology of area and quintessential hereness.
The spectator is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the work into the world of rolling sand and cow hair. The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but transformed. Contrasts of white wine and the dualistic essense of unreality dominate the emptiness of the piece.
A notable feature of this particular prototype is that it is not completely concrete.
